Hi Owen

You can reserve any edition. The way to do it. is from a page like this
http://intradev.katipo.co.nz/cgi-bin/koha/request.pl?bib=4069

You can select the 1999, 2001, and 1966 versions by checking the checkbox
for them. And it that way, select any edition.
Bear in mind intradev is our development site, so it does slightly mental
things sometimes, so I cant vouch it will work that way there. But thats how
it should work in 1.2.2 and as far as I know the 1.3.x releases.

Hope this helps
Chris
